Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

Step 1: The first discount is 25% on Rs. 600. So, the amount of the first discount is 25/100 * 600 = Rs. 150.

Step 2: So, the price of the article after the first discount is 600 - 150 = Rs. 450.

Step 3: The boy pays Rs. 369, which means the second discount is 450 - 369 = Rs. 81.

Step 4: To find the percentage of the second discount, we divide the amount of the second discount by the price after the first discount and multiply by 100. So, the second discount is 81/450 * 100 = 18%.

So, the correct answer is 18%.
